Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

Abstract

This chapter reflects upon the research and innovation at the forefront of artificial intelligence (AI) from hardware to software and their application to draw the potential future applications of AI that will change how care is delivered irrevocably. Techniques including machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision will be applied to enable earlier diagnosis, give patient control, and create entirely new categories of diagnostics. AI has the potential to not just digitalize what healthcare currently does but provide uniquely different ways forward that will revolutionize care delivery.
